On Saturday December 14, 2014 the campus ministry of the Boston Church of Christ hosted the second annual HOPE for the Holidays concert, benefitting HOPE worldwide. The night was a huge success, raising over $1,500.
The concert included a set by the indie eclectic band Midnight Lantern comprised of Morgan Williams, Gracie Aho, Joshua Larrabee, Emma Gifford, and Avery Miller. They performed a set of ten original and cover songs including “You Alone” and “Soul Meets Body.” Among these songs was the fan-favorite, “Praise,” performed with the accompaniment of William Pike and Josh Zaagsma. The second half of the concert included songs performed by Noel Lopez and William Pike, Gabriel Paradis, Abbi White, and a spoken word piece by Justin Singletary. The worship team of the Downtown Boston Campus Ministry concluded the night. They led the audience in song and wonderfully performed holiday carols including “O Holy Night” and an amplified version of “Deck the Halls.”
Along with the performances, the night included a raffle, and homemade concessions sold to directly benefit HOPE worldwide. The CD Nothing I Hold Onto, sold at the first HOPE for the Holidays Concert, was again for sale at the event, and is currently available online for purchase as well.
The Boston Campus Ministry was successful in hosting an event focused on loving and providing for others as God has himself done for us, and all of the glory is given to Him.
